Believe it or not, this show isn't happening at the fair. You're thinking of the Journey/Foreigner/Night Ranger show, and this triad of rockers back from pasture is a bit meaner and rougher around the edges than those pretty boys. (You can tell by their sneers.)

The Crue's "Saints of Los Angeles" wasn't half bad as comeback singles go - at least it felt like a revelation after Methods of Mayhem - and Poison had their pop culture resurgence thanks to Bret Michaels' tour as a reality TV heartthrob. As for the Dolls, they've been kicking out new jams steadily since their 2004 reunion. So expect nothing less than pros in fine rocking shape. -Chris DeVille
